Among the residents of the island, the vast majority had never seen Quanyi's true face.
However, legends about him quietly circulated in conversations between people.
The subjects they studied, the steam engines they benefited from, the iron ships, and the trains, all originated from Quanyi's inspiration.
To them, the person who could lead them away from their original sea of suffering and allow them to live with more dignity and respect was a benefactor.
They had heard too many rumors about Quanyi, and recently, they had even heard that the Soul Master team he led had become the champion of the Continental Youth Soul Master Elite Competition.
However, Quanyi, like a dragon whose tail is never seen, rarely appeared in the public eye, which brought the curiosity and desire in people's hearts to a climax.
A steam-powered vehicle, carrying a huge cart of heavy grain, traveled on the wide, long cement road leading to the east.
After a short hour of operation, Peter's steam car arrived at a space more complex than a village.
It was a cement building with the words 'Central Station' written on it.
Surrounding the low-rise but exceptionally wide and long square building, countless steam transport vehicles, spewing thick smoke and scorching steam, were loading large quantities of supplies and arriving in the surrounding parking lot.
The things these transport vehicles carried were not only rice but also some liquid materials loaded in sealed wooden barrels.
Such as palm oil, natural rubber, honey, and so on.
These raw materials, distributed in different locations, were processed by the responsible villages and then transported to this place.
As for why they were transported here, it was all because of the long metal railway laid behind the central station, and the long trains placed above the railway.
"Po! Po!"
A sharp air whistle, enough to break through most steam locomotives, sounded from the locomotive.
This train, named 'Hyena II', was an important means of transportation responsible for transporting bulk cargo between the central and eastern regions.
Its advantages were self-evident.
Load capacity, stability, speed, energy saving, and so on, were all better than individuals driving steam cars all the way to the other end of the island.
Peter drove his car to an empty parking space, waiting for the person in charge to come.
Soon, the person in charge of receiving the goods came to Peter.
"Please show your roster and driver's license."
The person didn't waste any words and concisely indicated the key points.
Peter knew that these people were very busy, so he immediately handed over the two prepared booklets to the staff.
The staff took out a pen from their chest pocket and carefully recorded the information on it in their notebook.
However, this did not mean that they were casual, because the quantity and weight of the supplies had already been recorded on it.
Moreover, the village, the transporter, and the receiving station each had a copy of the data. Therefore, they only needed to re-measure the data after unloading the supplies to confirm.
Not only that, but after the busy harvest day was over, someone would specifically check the accuracy of the data and materials.
In this way, very few people dared to engage in opportunistic behavior.
Peter happily took the booklet and carefully put it in his arms.
"Thank you, and I'll leave it to you all next."
Receiving the blue stamp meant that the task was completed, and it also meant that the reward was credited to the account.
One transport would accumulate a reward worth one silver soul coin in his personal account.
So far, he had accumulated four silver soul coins, equivalent to four hundred RMB.
After deducting the fixed mortgage and car loan that must be used to offset, as well as vehicle fuel consumption, his disposable income per day was at least two hundred yuan or more.
In the Blue Silver Island, which was rich in resources and extremely low in prices, two hundred yuan could buy a bicycle, with a month's worth of living supplies.
And this was just the income for one morning.
Compared to pure manual laborers without skills, such income completely exceeded them by a large margin.
This was also the reason why they worked so hard to study and get their driver's licenses.
At this rate, Peter felt that in a few years, he would be able to pay off the loan and accumulate enough money for his future grown-up children to attend a higher institution of learning.
On the island, children from the age of two until before their Martial Soul Awakening must receive unified teaching and training.
And what was even stranger was that after the Martial Soul Awakening, regardless of whether the child awakened innate soul power or not, they would go to a common elementary school for six years of compulsory education.
In elementary school, regardless of whether they possessed Soul Master talent or not, they must uniformly receive a series of Soul Master-related education, such as Soul Masters and Soul Beasts.
Moreover, even children with cultivation talent must participate in the teaching of other subjects, such as mathematics and physics, a series of non-Soul Master subjects.
In the academy, in addition to theoretical knowledge, they would also be allowed to participate in various practical exercises from an early age.
Swimming, navigation-related matters, and the most important blacksmithing practice.
These were all cultivation mechanisms set up to nurture excellent navigators and blacksmiths.
It didn't matter whether they possessed Soul Master talent or not; everyone had to participate.
In addition to this, children with cultivation talent must undergo arduous cultivation after digesting this series of complicated learning tasks.
Therefore, in the academies of the island, children with soul power had to bear a heavier burden.
They needed a large influx of talent in all aspects. Since Soul Masters could create more value, they must make good use of their potential.
In Blue Silver Island, there was no such thing as Soul Master subsidies at all. Apart from the compulsory education from the ages of two to six and six to twelve, everything was distributed according to work.
This method of educating the children of Soul Masters and ordinary people in the same academy and managing them equally made all the residents feel the uniqueness of Blue Silver Island.
After the end of compulsory education, the subsequent education process not only required tuition fees but also had to pass the academy's assessment requirements to enter a higher institution for more in-depth study.
Currently, this so-called higher institution was only one, which was the 'First Academy' located in Sea Hyena City.
Similar to compulsory education, the First Academy did not distinguish between Soul Masters and non-Soul Masters.
It would only set up different disciplines according to the teaching content. Mortals and Soul Masters would choose different disciplines according to their needs for further study.
To put it more simply, it was a fusion of the university of the previous life and the advanced Soul Master academy of this world.
This so-called First Academy was, of course, Quanyi's idea.
This idea, in fact, was subjected to a lot of questioning from the moment he proposed it, and the establishment process was full of difficulties because no one knew what it should look like specifically.
However, under Quanyi's strong will and the support of his family and clan, regardless of whether its structure was perfect or not, it at least appeared on the island in the form of a complete entity.
